Drop off winter clothes for children in need.
Since 2021, the Woodbury Community Foundation’s (WCF) winter clothing drive has provided children in need, mostly those in the South Washington County School District, with winter clothing. This year’s drive began on October 19 and ends December 20, which leaves plenty of time to drop off items at one of the clothing drive’s more than 20 locations, including Art & Science Family Dentistry, Jerry’s Foods, the YMCA and more.
For five years, WCF has partnered with SoWashCo CARES, a nonprofit supporting students at South Washington County Schools in various ways, to collect donations. Last year, the clothing drive collected over 1,800 items for the nonprofit, according to WCF’s winter clothing drive coordinator Roger Green. “There are needs out there, substantial needs, and it’s really an opportunity, through this program, to help make a direct impact on addressing those needs,” Green says.
This year, Green says, SoWashCo CARES and WCF are particularly looking for boots, snow pants and waterproof gloves. However, all winter clothing donations are welcome.
